Why did they evict the Pale Male of Central Park?

[question everything]

Was going to look for him in our upcoming visit and now he is gone.

1. There's a thread on this in DU

Pale Male and his mate have moved (due to eviction) to a hotel. Honest.

2. Due to Health Concerns

3. What a great story this is! A SAGA...Ebenezer Zahn! I love it....

A Google of "Paula Zahn, Pale Male and Lola" will give you the sequence of events and articles...

What a great holiday story....:D

[question everything]

5. Who is Lola?

Yes, just read over the long thread on the LBN. What a beautiful photo there is of the hawk.

And.... it was really Zahn's husband so it is kinda not fair to tar and feather her.

9. ROFL..."Tar and Feather her.." Zahn... (n/t)

6. This "Holiday Story" rivals "Home Alone 1" for us Internet Afficionado's,

imho...whatever.. It's a great read for those of us who are "Environmentalists/Pragmatists/Environmentalists/Anti-Corporatists..

The "Google" alone is such a great read! Please...do it!

4. He was leaving presents for the tennents of his building

like dead critters outside the front door

:shrug:

7. I know I get carried away, here,but it's a Dicken's "Story for Our Times"

and I love it as a big sentimentalist.... It goes into "Environmental Issues, Greed, Media and Pragmatism...but Damon Runyon would have been in his glory with this one!!!

I just hope it keeps kicked...it's a "Christmas Story" for our times.

but..as I said...I tend to get carried away, sometimes. Damon Runyon and Dickens...whoa....our times with some MEGA SPY STUFF and COLD WAR thrown into the STEW of our lives under the Bush/Blair Cabal...

11. How many of our beloved kitties leave "presents" on the doorstep

though. Do we "evict" them from the premises because of this..?

My kitties are insiders...but left to their own a trail of blood daily would be down my door path...They are hunters like these birds.

I'm glad I don't have to kill all those chikens I eat...to say nothing of the cows which I don't eat anymore because of "mad cow.." but yuck...Zahn and her hubby are real "prisses about this." Did their "paid help" get uset at using the dustpan to clean up a rats tail every once in awhile?

8. Here's some background on the story plus Pale Male's Website

devoted to news about his and Lola's plight since their "eviction."

An excellent read...

This...for background on the story...Hanukkah or Christmas story...

10. Thank you. Fascinating

I was thinking that it would be nice if a decent nest were placed on top of the building so that "remains" of a meal won't be thrown on unsuspected pedestrians of Fifth Ave.

Such remains will be consumed, eventually, by other birds of prey.

I will be sure to visit that place in two weeks, when we visit NYC again.
